Jaye Ellen Williams
October 28, 1961 — September 12, 2012
Jaye Ellen (Blanchette) Williams, 50, of Thurlow St., died peacefully September 12, 2012, at her home, after a courageous five year battle with pancreatic cancer.
Jaye was born on October 28, 1961 in Millinocket, ME, to Roland and Meridyth "Tony" [Dwyer] Blanchette. She graduated from Stearns High School in Millinocket, class of 1980 and from the University of Maine at Farmington, class of 1984, with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. She has been a resident of Plymouth since 1985.
Jaye taught school for the SAU 48 in the Campton, Wentworth and Plymouth Elementary Schools from 1985 to 2007, but took seven years leave of absence during that time to raise her children.
Her first loves were teaching and reading, of course. She added two new beloved hobbies in the past few years: knitting and watercolor painting.
Jaye is survived by; the love of her life and husband of twenty-eight years, Donald A. Williams; sons, Aaron A. Williams and Isaac G. Williams, all of Plymouth; her parents, Roland and Meridyth Blanchette of Lakeland, FL; her best friend and sister, Lyla Hayes and husband Mark of Plymouth, ME; brother, Brent Blanchette and wife Kathryn of Orange Park, FL; mother-in-law, Marion [Barr] Williams of Bangor, ME; sister-in-laws, Nada Williams of Bangor, ME, and Stacey Williams of Lincoln, ME; aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and special peeps (you know who you are) that helped her live a wonderfully full life during her battle with this disease.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Jaye B. Williams Children's Book Fund, 64 Thurlow St, Plymouth, NH 03264.
